    Rachmaninoff's Moment Musicaux no.4 is an explosion of anger and ultra fast note cascades for the left hand, powerful passages written as FFF (very very loud) and an aggressive theme.

    Since "bombast" and "bombastic" refer to overblown speech or writing, no classical music piece can be bombastic. Perhaps you mean which pieces are the noisiest. There's plenty of candidates for that.

    Rite of Spring is the one that springs to mind.  It's epic.
